i vigorously disagree. Unlike boxing, where a boxer is "knocked-out" but is given a standing 8-count to recover to get bludgoned again, in teh UFC the fight would be over. ALso, a fighter has the freedom to "tap-out" any time. Most make the arguments that the fights are much safer than boxing. UFC fighters take far fewer blows to the head in a MMA fight with 3 or f rounds than a boxer would in a sport that only stresses striking and goes 10-15 rounds.
